(6 days ago with Mewtwo)

As he woke up Mewtwo noticed the buzz in his mind that represented how close he was to Ash was now telling him the boy was miles away. Panicked Mewtwo surged to his feet looking for any signs that might lead him to Ash all he saw was Pichu, Pikachu and just pass the bush Ash's friends. The group of humans were starting to get up themselves when Pichu let out a wailing call for Ash which imediatly brought their attentions to the distressed baby Pokemon and like she had used quick attack to get there Misty was bent down scooping him up and cradling him to her as he cried.

" Sh, sh, shhshh its ok, it's going to be ok. We'll find Ash, he has been kidnapped on us before." Misty said softly to the crying little Pichu she instantly recognized as Ash's son Pichu, rocking him and rubbing his back gently while she spoke. Pikachu couldn't help to cry a bit too it had been so long since he wasn't by Ash's side he felt slightly abandoned and sought to comfort both himself and his crying son, jumping into Misty's arms wrapping his own arms around Pichu he just held him as Misty rocked both to sleep.

" I know which way he is in but it will take time to find him and right now he is on the move weather by choice or not I do not know. Though this is Ash I speak of here so it's not likely to be his choice." Mewtwo said mostly to reassure the baby electric type.

" It's that collar isn't it." Brock surmised with a thoughtful expression. He was beginning to suspect that Mewtwo had givin it to Ash in case he had ran from the Pokemon, Mewtwo would always be able to find him.

" Yes it is I made it with my own powers, I even put a bit of them inside the gem so I could sense which way I needed to go." Mewtwo said explaining the collar's purpose.

" I knew that Ash should have removed that thing I didn't like the feeling it gave me just by looking at it." Misty said a bit heatedly. Rising to her full height with both mice still in her arms. With both mice in her arms to Mewtwo she didn't intimidate him as much as the thought of Ash's mom finding out.

" He can't nobody can I made it that way, it will change size with him so there is no need to resize it, as well so he doesn't lose it when in a smaller form or it won't choke him if he changes into a larger form. Although that was more of a happy coincidence when I decided to make it change with him I only really intended it to grow in size originally but since he was struggling to learn a move I made some modifications to his DNA so it would come to him easier." Mewtwo said smiling at his next thought." The fact I got a breeder out of the modifications was another happy coincidence too."

" Uhg you discuss me just because he was having trouble you altered his DNA, that is just wrong." Misty said her temper rising slowly as Mewtwo kept bringing up more stuff which according to him was a happy coincidence, it just did not sit well with the tomboy. Mewtwo felt glad that Misty's arms were full of emotionally distraught Pokemon. As he peered into her mind seeing just how much she wanted to clobber him just like she had done to Ash so many times when Ash had annoyed her badly enough, seeing the small smirk that seemed to be aimed at herself and the mice in her arms Misty snapped her leg up in a high kick catching Mewtwo and the others off guard with both the speed she did it and the flexibility to do it standing straight up with out bending back any. Brock nervously chuckled and subtly stepped away from the pissed off girl, Tracey doing the same.

" Hey let's not forget the real problem, Ash is missing, while I do agree with Misty about altering his DNA, at least we have a way of tracking Ash down with the collar." Tracey said holding his hands up in a placating fashion trying to cut the tension between his friend and the psychic Pokemon. Turning in the direction Mewtwo could feel Ash was in he began to walk.

" We must go this way." Mewtwo said before entering the forest. All three human trainers looked at one another before shrugging there shoulders and following Mewtwo through the woods in the direction of the beach, watching as he used his mind to lift vines, branches, fallen logs and many, many fruits and leaves. They were wondering what he was doing before they noticed it, watching all the gathered items except the fruits and logs began to weave themselves together under the psychic command of Mewtwo by the time they had arrived on the beach Mewtwo had constructed a simi large raft with leaf sown sails and vine ropes holding it all together. Placing the raft near the water, taking even more leaves he began making bags out of them to hold all the food taking a few short minutes, Tracey was quite mesmerized by it all as he sketched it all, complimenting it's subtle details that made it look more elegant, he could see swirles and zigzags going in different directions clashing and running together in the sails, there was small vines intricately knotted together causing the floor of the raft to look as if it had a woven rug with multiple openings that while small still held there own designs of varying shapes and sizes going from as small as a hand to being as large as Pichu if he were to lay down on the floor, boarding the raft they sat near the mast as Mewtwo shoved it off the shore. Sailing as best they could in the direction of Ash and team rocket, Mewtwo was losing the grip he had on his own emotions as his anger rose to the surface, angry storm clouds began to gather in response to his psychic call, blasting the raft with fierce winds that threatened to snap the main sail and pull them from the raft, sending them across the great divide of the ocean nearly skipping along. The rough sea stretch for many miles before they even saw the island coming into view but as the sun was setting Mewtwo's anger was once again on the rise as he felt Ash's presence start to move once more, looking back at the three humans and both electric mice he could see they were tired. Arriving on the island as the sun was setting Mewto just lifted the raft onto the shore were he laid down and fell asleep.

(The next day, days five before Ash escapes)

Rising with the sun Mewtwo once more set off in a new direction as he followed a small buzz in his head telling him Ash was in that way, as Mewtwo faced his next destination and so lost in thought he didn't notice Misty's ever approaching form until she laid a hand on his shoulders.

" Just as I told Pichu, Mewtwo it is going to be ok, ok Ash has been taken from us three times now. Twice by team rocket though but we will find him. We have to for both Pikachu and Pichu. You said the collar that you gave Ash is able to help you find him, well that's more then what we had before." Misty said in confidence as Brock came up next to them.

"She's right Mewtwo, also Misty they must be on the move again as this is a deferent way we're going as to yesterday's direction as the sun is more toward our back." Brock said pulling up a small map with little detail before examining it.

" I didn't know you had a map. Let me see it so I can see how far we must go." Mewtwo said.

" Well ok but it's not the best map of the region but it is the best that I could find." Brock said as he handed over the bare map that barely had the names legible. With a great sigh he handed the map back.

" I can not use this map for my porpuse it is to bare." Mewtwo said as Brock got the map, unrolled it once again looking for something that could help.

" Well if we keep heading in this direction we should come across the golden island of the orange Archipelago. Brock said with his eyes focused on the piece of paper in his hands." We can pick up a better map from there and then maybe you could do whatever it was that you were going to do."

" Fine but it will take time, I would prefer to go straight to Ash." Mewtwo said as he slightly adjusted their heading.

(Five nights and four days until escape)

The sun was once again setting as the group of six arrived at their set destination, eager to sleep in a bed for once they set off for the nearest Pokemon center. Entering the center they went straight to the nurse Joy at the reception counter.

"Good afternoon isn't it a little late for youngsters like you to be out." Nurse Joy said with a smile and a friendly wave.

" Well yes but that is why we're here nurse joy we'd like to get a room big enough for all of us if possible." Tracey said as Misty held onto Brock's ear. The next mourning and after breakfast the group set off in search of the market, fing it was simple as it had been placed not to far from the center but a little closer to the center of town. Walking up to the counter Brock started to look through the different tour guide books as well as keeping an eye out for a better map of the archipelago. He had nearly gone through the entire stack when he found a detailed map of the region they were in.

" Here we go this is what we need this map has all the islands that are around Shamouti island and the elemental islands." Brock said as he handed his choice to the chasheir to complete his purchase with money to pay after all was said and done they was once more traveling the sea. As the raft drifted with the wind the three humans and Mewtwo were gathered around the new map looking at where they just left. Mewtwo begun to focus on the map as well as the feeling inside his head visualizing where on the map it is coming from, before their very eyes a crying chibi Ash was sitting in the ocean moving towards another island. They watched as it traveled towards an unnamed island just west of Navel island.

" It will take sevral days to get there from here but now we know where to go." Mewtwo said to them.
